5/4

Lightly-raced maiden, promising effort over 1m2f in Lingfield turf handicap (good to firm) a week ago. Player if building on that now.

Good second of four at Carlisle last month but not in the same form when third in another small field at Ripon attempting this trip for the first time since. Drops in class for this.

Forecasts

Arch Gold (5/4), Emerald Rocket (5/2), Corton Lad (3/1), An Fear Ciuin (8/1)

CORTON LAD is a three-time winner around here and ran well at Chester recently from this mark. He's as likely as any in this wide open four-runner event. The maiden Arch Gold shaped well at Lingfield on turf recently and should be suited by the longer trip while Emerald Rocket drops in class and will have a chance with a repeat of his penultimate run at Carlisle.
